Meta Pulse - Boomsday - Aug 10th

With Day 3 of The Boomsday Project wrapped up, we're starting to see a good variety of decks having a lot of success.

Power Rankings

Here's a look at the Class Power Rankings after Day 3 of Boomsday.

With Day 3, we're starting to see some normalization. Warlock has come down a bit with the player base reacting to the Warlock heavy meta with Odd Rogue and Big Spell Mage keeping the powerful Warlock decks in check. Priest had the biggest improvement with a new improved Mecha'thun Priest coming to light as well as players just getting better at playing the Control Priests.

What's Everyone Playing?

Here's the class rankings based on popularity right now.

Warlock, Druid, and Rogue are still by far the most popular with these classes having the most variety of decks. The rest of the classes are starting to even out with Warrior and Paladin dropping a bit and Priest on the rise.

Top 8 Decks

Now that we've covered the classes, let's dive into some of the decks. Here are the Top 8 performing decks (with a unique archetype) with at least 400 games in the last 24 hours:

Even Warlock (59.2%): This deck continues to show that it doesn't need any new cards to continue succeeding. We're seeing some varieties of Even Warlock, but it's mostly swapping out cards with old tech cards like Black Knight and Skulking Geist .

Odd Rogue (57.6%): Odd Rogue continues to occupy a key place in the meta keeping the top Warlock decks in check while punishing the greedy decks. Myra's Unstable Element has given this deck an extra level with a massive card draw play where before it would fizzle out.

Shudderwock Shaman (57.3%): Shudderwock makes it's first appearance! This deck is a bit of a hybrid between Token and Shudderwock Shaman. Giggling Inventor gives this deck added defense against aggro yet also provides a wider board against slower decks for a big Thrall, Deathseer play. Electra Stormsurge also provides an interesting dual role in the form of 2x damage on Lightning Storm removal against aggro, but at the same time 2x damage on Lightning Bolts to the face against slow decks.

Spell Hunter (56.8%): Spell Hunter keeps up it's consistency with having decent matchups all across the board. It's really only a huge underdog against Odd Paladin when we're talking about popular decks.

Control Warlock (56.6%): This deck is a great counter for all of the aggro decks particularly against Zoo Warlock. An early Rin, The First Disciple can ruin your opponents combo or control decks. Demonic Project has been a great addition for helping you find more Voidlords and also messing up your opponent's win condition.

Zoo Warlock (56.1%): This Zoo Warlock and the new one we featured yesterday are neck and neck. You can't go wrong with either right now when it comes to climbing up the ranks.
